AWStats reports are configured from the command line interface. You can not configure AWStats using the Site Administrator control panel.
AWStats reports are generated in accordance with the options set in the AWStats configuration file. You can modify the configuration options to change the default behaviour of AWStats reports.
To change the configuration information:
Important: To use Telnet or SSH, your service provider must enable Telnet or SSH remote login services for your site. SSH is recommended as a secure remote login service.
ssh
<username@sitename>
For example, if you have the user name, myname, for the site, mysite.com, then type, ssh myname@mysite.com
telnet mysite.com
vi /etc/awstats/awstats.<siteN>.conf
vi /etc/awstats/awstats.ftp.<siteN>.conf
Note: When you modify the configuration file, do not change the default output directory, outputdir
(where the AWStats reports will be located), otherwise the reports will not be visible from the Site Administrator control panel.
